Eleventh-Hour Restitution.

An elderly man went to a.Harrisburg merchant and tendered him a quarter of a dollar, saying it was due him. On I asking why, he told the merchant that about one year before his daughter had bought a remnant at his store. paying 25 cents therefor. But on getting home she discovered that two remnants had been put into the package by mistake. She intended paying for the second remnant, but put it off from time to time, until she fell sick, when she told her father the circumstances and asked hint to see that the money was paid. He"promised, but also neglected the matter. Finally the young woman reached death’s door, and with almost her last breath she asked her father"!! he had not paid fog the remnant.
